Freshman Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is creating fresh controversy in her second week in the House of Representatives, but this time it's over a shocking, anti-Semitic slur leveled at her Congressional colleagues for their support of a bill which would allow local, state, and federal agencies to avoid doing business with entities that support the anti-Israel Boycott-Divestment-Sanction (or BDS) movement.

Phil Klein in the Washington Examiner reports that Tlaib "charged that supporters [of the anti-BDS] bill" were torn by their "dual loyalty" to both Israel and the United States, and claimed that the bill's supporters "forgot what country they represent."

They forgot what country they represent. This is the U.S. where boycotting is a right & part of our historical fight for freedom & equality. Maybe a refresher on our U.S. Constitution is in order, then get back to opening up our government instead of taking our rights away. https://t.co/KkmqjR58ZM

The "dual loyalty" smear is a typical — if horrifying — anti-Semitic charge, a fact Tlaib is no doubt aware of.

"The idea of Jews as having divided loyalty, and of using their influence to convince others to act against the interests and principles of their own country, is an age-old anti-Semitic trope," Klein contends.

As Klein points out, Tlaib is a vocal supporter of the BDS movement, which proponents claim is merely a movement against "Zionism," but is in reality a profound attack on Israel and its right to exist.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) also lashed out at Tlaib for her comments, outlining the problems of the BDS movement — and Tlaib's interpretation of the boundaries of Constitutional rights — on social media.

Muslims will always have one loyality and it will never be to the USA or anything we stand for. Only Democrat scum would elect one of Satan's children to political office. I find it ironic that radical Leftist are so Islam friendly because if the Muslim's had control the Left and their immoral lifestyles would target them first for destruction. So what is the common thread that holds these two seemingly polarized groups together.....Oh yeah, their hatred of America and all we stand for.

That's an odd position to take for someone who literally wrapped herself in the Palestinian flag during her campaign for political office in America. <_<

Muslims and the Left agree on one thing: how to gain and hold onto power (basically, fascism).

Like this **** has any business invoking the Constitution or questioning anyone else’s loyalty. :censored:

The other day on twitter Republican Rep. Justin Amash, who also identifies as Palestinian-American, called her out because he said she is not the first Palestinian-American in Congress. Her followers all jumped on him saying stuff like “Yea, but what do you do for your people”? and “You don’t do anything for your people so you need to shut up.” I thought his (and her) people are supposed to be the American constituents in Michigan, not a Palestinian interest group. And she has the nerve to say that the Jewish supporters have divided loyalty. SMH
